Personally I like the click and drag cuz I use a laptop, but I agree that the mousewheel support should be built in. If anything, atleast a checkbox in the prefs that you can turn off and on
. Why not have both click and drag *and* mousewheel... This is a basic thing..
Basic indeed. Word, both is fine--I'm never a fan of taking away features people use and are used to--I'm sure there's people who prefer the click and drag to scrollwheel zooming, good for them.
Right now, the mouse scrollwheel can scroll up and down through arrangerview tracks (if you have enough that their size exceeds your screen size), and ctrl-scroll can move left and right. I'd propose that ctrl-scroll stay the same, alt-scroll or shift-scroll be used for the up/down arrangerview track navigation, and just plain old solo'd scrollwheel be zoom in/out in arrangerview.
Not sure on a mac workaround, I feel like someone had something that worked, but can't remember, sorry.
